The Mobile Gaming Show will be hosted by actor Ben Starr - Final Fantasy 16's Clive Rosfield - and will be approximately 30 minutes long.

It's also confirmed that the broadcast will spotlight "exclusive reveals" as well as developer interviews for mobile games.

Ubisoft has announced that Assassin's Creed Shadows has been delayed into 2025.

After canceling a press event for the Assassin's Creed game earlier this week without comment, Ubisoft has now confirmed that Shadows has been delayed from its original November 12 release date to February 14, 2025.

The publisher shared a statement on X / Twitter, explaining that the development team needs additional time to polish the game before it's ready for launch.

"This is an ambitious addition to the franchise, a rich experience that can be lived through the eyes of two unique protagonists - but we realize we need more time to polish and refine the experience, pushing further some of our key features," the post reads.

Ubisoft also confirmed that, unlike recent Assassin's Creed installments, Shadows will launch day one on Steam alongside PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Amazon Luna.

Additionally, all existing pre-orders will be canceled and refunded as Ubisoft moves away from its traditional season pass model.

Instead, all future pre-orders will be granted the first Assassin's Creed Shadows expansion for free.

In a separate letter to investors, Ubisoft's Vice President and Executive Producer of the Assassin's Creed franchise, Marc-Alexis Côté, further explained that the delay comes after learning from the recent release of Star Wars Outlaws'.

"While the game is feature complete, the learnings from the Star Wars Outlaws release led us to provide additional time to further polish the title," Côté said.

"This will enable the biggest entry in the franchise to fully deliver on its ambition, notably by fulfilling the promise of our dual protagonist adventure, with Naoe and Yasuke bringing two very different gameplay styles."

Although Massive Entertainment's open-world Star Wars title was received well, the game underperformed in sales. The developer recently revealed its plans to update and refine the game, while also announcing a November 21 release date on Steam.

"In response to player feedback, Ubisoft’s development teams are currently fully mobilized to swiftly implement a series of updates to polish and improve the player experience in order to engage a large audience during the holiday season to position Star Wars Outlaws as a strong long-term performer," Côté added.

Alienware has announced its new Alienware Pro Headset in collaboration with eSports team, Team Liquid.

The Alienware Pro Headset is set to release this October in North America for $229.99 and is described as new "esports-caliber" hardware that will meet the demands of competitive gaming.

The headset is a minimalist design and will seemingly be available in white and black options.

Alienware has collaborated with over 100 elite eSports athletes and streamers, including Team Liquid, to bring their expertise into the mix for the new gaming headset.

The company's latest innovation boasts a range of features and components, including 50mm Graphene Coated Drivers for superior directional audio and Hybrid ANC to offer a better active noise canceling (ANC) experience.

The Graphene Coated Drivers were specifically implemented in the headset to provide "the best, out-of-box directional audio solution". Its design is also strong and lightweight, which Alienware says makes sound more responsive and "creates a natural, accurate, and clear sound with lots of depth".

"Our Pro Wireless Headset is also less prone to distortion, especially at higher frequencies, when compared to other gaming headsets that are made with titanium, plastic, or other materials," Alienware said.

"These attributes come together to provide gamers with clearer 360-degree directional and vertical audio. This is particularly advantageous in games like first-person shooters (FPS) in which gamers must know the direction and height of the sounds around them."

The Pro Headset also has a two-mic Noise Cancellation technology to ensure players' mics only pick up their voice, along with soft memory-foam leatherette earcups that enhance comfort, reduce pressure, isolate sound, and improve sound quality while gaming.

The headset tech also helps the microphone distinguish between verbal and non-verbal audio, while also enhancing the player’s voice regardless of what environment they're in.

The device also has three connectivity modes to choose from, USB-C, Bluetooth 5.3, or 2.4GHz connections for PC, mobile, and console gaming, with a battery life of up to 70 hours (over 2.4GHz connection with ANC off), up to 35 hours (over 2.4GHz connection with default ANC on), or up to 75 hours (over Bluetooth connection with ANC off at default volume).

Sony's latest PlayStation State of Play broadcast is almost here, which will hopefully provide us with a new look at some brand-new titles as well as a fresh look at the PS5 Pro.

To prepare for the showcase, here's everything you need to know, including how and when to watch, what to expect, and some predictions for the showcase we might have.

Start time

Sony's State of Play is scheduled to broadcast tonight on September 24 at 11pm BST / 3pm PT / 6pm ET and September 25 at 12am CEST / 7am JST.

Where to watch

You'll be able to watch the State of Play broadcast on PlayStation's official YouTube and Twitch channels. As with every showcase, we can expect there to be a countdown before the live stream's scheduled start time of up to 10 minutes.

What to expect

Sony has confirmed that tonight's State of Play showcase will be 30+ minutes and will provide "news and updates on more than 20 upcoming PS5 and PS VR2 games from studios around the world."

In terms of what those games are, we now have leaked confirmation that Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1-2 Remastered will be announced alongside a gameplay trailer.

The remastered versions of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2 were leaked on PSN earlier today and will be coming to PS5 and PS4 on December 10 to celebrate the series' 25th anniversary.

Although it hasn't been verified at this time, there's strong reason to believe that Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered for PS5 and PC will also be officially revealed after a recent leak on the ESRB website, as well as a Days Gone remaster.

Following the PS5 Pro announcement, and with PS5 Pro pre-orders set to begin this week as well, tonight's State of Play could potentially feature future titles for the mid-generation console and some overview of the boost in performance they'll get from the new hardware.

Some titles that could make an appearance range from Marvel's Wolverine, which has been quiet for a few years now since its 2021 reveal, to Kojima Productions' Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, which has a 2025 launch window.

We could also see brand-new titles in development for the PS5 and PS5 Pro, but we'll have to wait and see.

Assassin's Creed Invictus could reportedly be inspired by Fall Guys.

The latest comes from Assassin's Creed leaker 'j0nathan' over on X / Twitter (via Eurogamer) who shared new details about Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed game revealing that it's inspired by Mediatonic's battle royale game featuring multiple game modes.

The user also revealed that the game will have 16 players, but notes this could change through development, where players compete over several rounds.

"Among the game [types], we find Team Deathmatch, another free-for-all, and a speed game where you have to go to light points scattered on the map," j0nathan said (machine translated).

"If you qualify for the next round, you can choose types of powers to form a build in the final game."

It wouldn't be an Assassin's Creed game without the titular assassins, as j0nathan explains, players will be able to take the role of famous characters across Ubisoft's franchise.

The leaker was able to confirm that Ezio Auditore da Firenze and Cesare Borgia will be playable and that gameplay will be arcade-like "with hits without real impact and even a 'bubble' shield like in Smash Bros".

Additionally, game mode maps will take inspiration from former games in the series like Assassin's Creed Mirage's Baghdad and Assassin's Creed Shadows' Japan, alongside one inspired by Black Flag, which is described as "a map in a paradise island", and one drawn from Pompeii "with rising lava".

The camera will also be "quite far away from the character, making them look small", which could mean players will be able to view the game in an arena-style setting, similar to Fall Guys.

If the most recent leak holds some truth, it would have some connection to the game's title of 'Invictus', which in Latin means "unconquerable" or "undefeated", a term you would associate with battle royale-type games.

Ubisoft has yet to formally reveal any details about Assassin's Creed Invictus, so at the moment we don't know too much about the game, only that it will have multiplayer elements.

A brand new Xbox wireless controller will seemingly be revealed today.

That's according to Dealabs' reliable data miner 'billbil-kun' - known for previously leaking many industry announcements like upcoming PlayStation Plus line-ups. They reported that Microsoft will be releasing a new wireless controller in October.

Called the Xbox Wireless Controller - Ghost Cipher Special Edition, this piece of hardware is set to be released on October 8, 2024, for $69.99 / £64.99 (around AU$136.99).

Preorders for the controller are also expected to go live today, September 24, after Microsoft formally makes the announcement.

The Ghost Cipher controller is expected to be another transparent design like the Xbox Wireless Controller – Sky Cipher Special Edition, which launched last month.

The blue Sky Cipher is "Inspired by revealing the mysteries inside of the Xbox Wireless Controller", featuring metallic silver interior parts, "that shine through from inside, exuding an aura of sophistication and futuristic appeal," according to Microsoft's description.

The leaker reports that the information is based on the fact that they discovered that a new controller was being made that shares the same characteristics as the Sky Cipher, but it's unclear what color the controller will be at this time.

This summer, Microsoft unveiled new Xbox models including a 2TB Xbox Series X in a new Galaxy Black Special Edition, an all-digital 1TB Xbox Series X in Robot White, and an all-digital 1TB Xbox Series S in Robot White.

All three consoles will be officially released on October 15, but they're expected to launch in select countries on October 29. Here's where to buy and pre-order the new Xbox Series X and S consoles.

A new Sonic Central presentation is scheduled to go live later today (September 24), bringing what should hopefully be a slew of new Sonic-related announcements across games, movies, shows and merchandise.

The latest Sonic Central presentation was announced by the official Sonic the Hedgehog X / Twitter account. The announcement graphic reads: "Tune in for a sneak peek of some of our upcoming projects, partnerships, and events happening through 2025."

If you want to watch the Sonic Central 2024 presentation live, there are two ways you can do so. The first is over at the official Sonic the Hedgehog YouTube channel, and the second being over at the franchise's official Twitch page.

Sonic Central is airing today at 9am PST / 12pm EST / 5pm BST / 6pm CEST, so if you're keen on catching all the new announcements as they happen, be sure to have either the YouTube or Twitch page open at the times listed above to be among the first to learn about all the latest Sonic news.

To help keep your expectations in check, Sonic Central presentations are never anything too out there. We may get some updates on existing projects like Sonic X Shadow Generations as well as the third Sonic movie.

Previous Sonic Central showcases announced projects like Netflix's Sonic Prime as well as merch lines from Lego and other toy brands. Expect a decent portion of today's Sonic Central to be focused on merch such as this.

As for what's happening for the franchise in 2025, we may get a bunch of new dates and venues for the live Sonic Symphony World Tour. There may even be an outside chance at the reveal of some new games, whether that be the next mainline entry after Sonic Frontiers, a spin-off or a remaster of another classic Sonic title. 

The latter two seem much more likely than the former at this present date - especially as there's interest in the fanbase for remasters of Sonic Heroes and Sonic Unleashed. Personally, I'd love to see a new Sumo Digital-led Sonic racing game - ideally one of the Sonic Riders variety.

• New PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Edition pictures highlight tiny hidden details
• PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition price has reportedly leaked

The PS5 30th Anniversary Edition may have had its price revealed ahead of an official announcement, thanks to a recent leak.

The report comes from notable leaker billbil-kun, via Dealabs, who states that the PS5 30th Anniversary Edition model (specifically the PS5 Slim version of the special edition) will cost $499.99 / £449.99. That's a clean $50 hike over the standard PS5 Slim model.

That said, the PS5 30th Anniversary Edition will not come bundled with a disc drive. It will, however, come bundled with a vertical stand, special edition faceplate, a DualSense wireless controller, a bespoke PS1-style USB-C cable, and a set of collectible stickers.

Dealabs' billbil-kun also suggests that the 30th Anniversary Edition DualSense controller will retail at $79.99 (around £69.99). That's a $5 jump over the standard DualSense which recently saw a price increase of its own.

With all that in mind, the price of the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Edition remains unknown, with no word from Sony nor speculation from billbil-kun. The standard PS5 Pro will cost $699.99 / £699.99. If billbil-kun's report is correct, then the 30th Anniversary Edition PS5 Pro will likely cost even more, potentially anywhere between $749.99 / £749.99 to $799.99 / £799.99.

The PS5 Pro's price has been a point of contention for many, with plenty of gamers balking at the idea of spending that much on a mid-gen refresh that may not provide a wholly transformative experience and especially one that doesn't ship with a disc drive or a vertical stand. On the other hand, many have welcomed additions like PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) for better overall image quality and a 2TB SSD for significantly more storage.

Silent Hill 2's latest trailer confirms the survival horror remake will have one year of PS5 console exclusivity.

As spotted by Eurogamer, Bloober Team's anticipated remake of the 2001 Konami classic is slated to launch on October 8. It was previously known that Silent Hill 2 would be a PS5 console exclusive, but it wasn't clear as to whether or not that was to be a permanent fixture.

Until now, at least, thanks to the Silent Hill 2 'Immersion' trailer that has appeared on the official PlayStation YouTube channel. The minute-long trailer showcases some of Silent Hill 2's impressive environments and features, such as 4K visuals and immersive haptic feedback via the DualSense wireless controller. There will also be PlayStation 3D audio support and dynamic lightbar implementation that keeps a color-coded track of protagonist James Sunderland's health.

However, the PlayStation 5 splash screen at the end of the trailer reveals that Silent Hill 2 won't be "available on other formats until 10.08.2025." That's October 8, 2025; exactly one year on from the game's launch.

While Silent Hill 2 will be available on PC from day one, this essentially means that it won't be coming to Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S (or potentially even Nintendo Switch 2) until at least late 2025. And even then, we would still recommend checking the game out on PS5 if you're able so you can make the most of those bespoke DualSense features like adaptive triggers and haptic feedback support.

If you're curious, our very own Dashiell Wood had the opportunity to interview developer Bloober Team about the Silent Hill 2 remake, saying: "We want to reimagine the original game and give it our own Bloober spin."

• Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a swashbuckling side story starring fan favorite Goro Majima
• Latest rumors indicate that the PlayStation 6 could come in two distinct variants

Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have just announced Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii at Tokyo Game Show 2024's RGG Summit presentation. 

Firmly filing under the category of 'game ideas so good I can't believe they haven't happened already', this smaller-scale adventure stars iconic series madman Goro Majima as the protagonist. After washing up on a deserted island with no recollection of how he got there or even who he is, Majima is rescued by a young boy named Noah.

Before long, Majima and the folks of Rich Island are swept up in a full-scale pirate invasion, complete with naval battles and even a hunt for legendary treasure. It's arguably the most out there the Like a Dragon series has ever been, and that's even accounting for the madness we witnessed throughout Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will reportedly be similar in scope to 2023's Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. Judging by the brief gameplay snippets we got from the announcement trailer, combat will return to the real-time action combat style as opposed to the more recent pivot to turn-based battles.

Majima will be able to switch between two fighting styles. First up is 'Sea Dog' which sees Majima dual-wielding swords. Then there's the 'Mad Dog' style, which presumably could be similar to his movesets from Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami 2.

Launching on February 28, 2025, for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and PC (via Steam), Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will have a few different versions. There's the Standard Edition which is available in either physical or digital versions. A digital-only Deluxe Edition adds some DLC customization items. There will also be a physical Collector's Edition that packs in the base game, Deluxe Edition content, and various physical goodies such as a replica of Majima's iconic eye patch.

• Lies of P Cap: $34 / £24.99 / AU$50

In addition to the official merch store, Neowiz has partnered with creative outlet iam8bit for a set of limited edition Lies of P vinyl records. First up, the Lies of P 3xLP features the entire game soundtrack on black and gold vinyl. It also comes with a trifold jacket with some truly stunning artwork. It'll be available on the iam8bit website for $74.99 (around £56.99).

A separate vinyl, Lies of P 7", highlights the fan favorite vocal track 'Feel' which will be available for $14.99 (around £11.99). For fans who want both, a special edition bundle packs in all these vinyls for $84.99 (around £64.99), though this will only be available until October 4.

That's plenty of solid new merch, then, but developer Round 8 Studio isn't quite done with Lies of P just yet. We know that the team is working on DLC for the game as well as a potential sequel if the surprise post-credits scene is anything to go by.

The PS6 price could reach or even pass the $600 threshold according to some games industry analysts.

In a chat with GamesBeat, trusted Circana analyst Mat Piscatella argued that "higher pricing will likely have to be part of the equation" for PS6, evidencing the slowdown of organic growth when it comes to console hardware sales in the US.

"I’m expecting prices on new console hardware to continue to increase," Piscatella added. "We’ve now seen that (previously a bit radioactive following the PS3’s pricing announcement way back when) $599 threshold reached or broken by both PlayStation and Xbox, so I certainly won’t be surprised if we see that again."

Midia Research's Rhys Elliot expects a similar shift in pricing, referencing PS5 Pro's controversial $699.99 price tag. "I expect to see the PS6 and Xbox’s next-generation consoles retailing at $600, at least," said Elliot. "PlayStation is clearly testing the waters with its PS5 Pro pricing."

Niko Partners' Daniel Ahmad also weighed in and stated that PS5 Pro "is focused on a price-insensitive audience," adding that: "console manufacturers have still taken steps to ensure they have a lower cost entry point. This is the Switch Lite for Nintendo, the Series S for Xbox and the PS5 Digital Edition for Sony. However, what we have typically seen this generation is that these models have not received permanent price drops."

Ahmad also said that Niko Partners estimates the PS5 Pro to sell 10 million units across its lifetime, making up around 10% of total PS5 units sold. Much like PSVR 2, then, the mid-gen upgrade may gain some traction among the enthusiast crowd who're after the very best in console image quality. But its widespread appeal will be limited compared to more affordable PS5 models.
